Vulnerable Democrats are getting a battering from one of the
main Republican political action committees working to protect the
party's hold on the House, as it launches a new offense in five
districts nationwide.

The
ads target Democrats on everything from their record on taxes to their
support for the stimulus. Against McIntyre, the ad asserts that he's
"voted the Pelosi line up to 90 percent of the time," and the ad running
against Kathy Hochul charges that she "profited from companies
outsourcing jobs and doing business with China." The Congressional
Leadership Fund is launching both a Spanish and English version of the
ad running against Gallego, which targets his position on energy
policies and calls him extreme.

The new ads amount to an
expenditure of more than $4.1 million, and they come as a part of a new,
nearly $13.5 million offensive launched by the group targeting
Democrats in the final weeks of the campaign.
